TheBilingualBrain

WhenKarlKimimmigratedtotheUnitedStatesfromKoreaasateenager,hehadahardtimelearningEnglish.Nowhespeaksitfluently,andhehadauniqueopportunitytoseehowourbrainsadapttoasecondlanguage.Asagraduatestudent,KimworkedinthelabofJoyHirsch,aneuroscientistinNewYork.theirworkledtoanimportantdiscovery.Theyfoundevidencethatchildrenandadultsdontusethesamepartsofthebrainwhentheylearnasecondlanguage.

TheresearchersusedaninstrumentcalledanMRI(magneticresonanceimaging)scannertostudythebrainsoftwogroupsofbilingualpeople.Onegroupconsistedofthosewhohadlearnedasecondlanguageaschildren..Theotherconsistedofpeoplewho,likeKim,learnedtheirsecondlanguagelaterinlife.PeoplefrombothgroupswereplacedinsidetheMRIscanner.ThisallowedKimandHirschtoseewhichpartsofthebrainweregettingmorebloodandweremoreactive.Theyaskedpeoplefrombothgroupstothinkaboutwhattheyhaddonethedaybefore,firstinonelanguageandthentheother.Theycouldntspeakoutloudbecauseanymovementwoulddisruptthescanning.

KimandHirschlookedspecificallyattwolanguagecentersinthebrain-Brocasarea,whichisbelievedtocontrolspeechproduction,andWernickesarea,whichisthoughttoprocessmeaning.KimandHirschfoundthatbothgroupsofpeopleusedthesamepartofWernickesareanomatterwhatlanguagetheywerespeaking.ButtheiruseofBrocasareawasdifferent.

PeoplewholearnedasecondlanguageaschildrenusedthesameregioninBrocasareaforboththeirfirstandsecondlanguages.PeoplewholearnedasecondlanguagelaterinlifeusedadifferentpartofBrocasareafortheirsecondlanguage.HowdoesHirschexplainthisdifference?Hirschbelievesthatwhenlanguageisfirstbeingprogrammedinyoungchildren,theirbrainsmaymixthesoundsandstructuresofalllanguagesinthesamearea.Oncethatprogrammingiscomplete,theprocessingofanewlanguagemustbetakenoverbyadifferentpartofthebrain.
